Chapitre 578: Strategic Retreat

"General, I have been serving your house loyally for years. Please consider all the work I have done for you and spare my life!" Fearing for his life, Lunduoer pleaded with tears in his eyes.

A deadly silence hung in the air of the office. 

"Take him out." Lie Jintian waved in dismissal. "I will give you a proper burial for your years of servitude."

A few hulking soldiers came in and dragged Lunduoer out of the office. Regardless of the reason for his mistake, let it be incompetency or carelessness, the damage was done, and it was unforgivable.

Lie Jintian's face was hard as he scanned the generals and captains serving under him with a stern glance. Fearing his ire, no one dared look at him in the eyes. This disaster was certainly avoidable if the human defense were well prepared.
